    Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems undergo a period of rapid development in both civil and military scenarios. A major challenge in the malicious jamming environment is to guarantee the reliability of UAV communications links. Frequency hopping (FH) is one of the most commonly used means of combatting the influence brought about by jamming. In this paper, we integrate low-rate codes into an anti-jamming FH communications system, and propose an efficient and low-complexity turbo-Hadamard code scheme. Tail-biting is applied to design the component convolutional-Hadamard codes, and a corresponding decode algorithm is used for implementation in the UAV hardware platform. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the anti-jamming performance of this method is improved as compared with conventional concatenated codes. Finally, we compare the complexity and transmission efficiency of the proposed algorithm with the algorithms implemented on the field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform in detail.
